update on those new benchmark frames?

[mike e]

does anyone have one(prototype perhaps)? MSRP? due date? will it even release?

[RRfireblade]

I had one in my hands this morning and ME LIKES!Their waiting for the new triggers to be ready,in a week or so and then they go to the field testers.I might possibly be one of the testers so if so I'll keep anyone interested updated.

Jay.

[fearc7]

hey RRFireblade can you give us some details?

[RRfireblade]

Mmmmm,well to start it's Mag and Cocker,that should jerk quite a few chains.It'll come with two trigger blanks just move a pivot pin and swap grips.It has two sets of magnets.One pair attractive and one pair opposing.It's adjustable for trigger rod slop(gasps!)foward AND rearward travel.VERY light pull and super short on the cocker not quite as short on the Mag.As for the Mag though you can kind of sweet spot it between the magnets and it'll rip pretty darn quick.Kind of need to try to understand.It's a 45 style but the proto's not fully milled so I can't speculate on comfort just yet.Got a cool finger recess behind the trigger though for those of us who like to pull single on occasion or just rest your finger there for a better grip while running.For cocker fans it's really quite a short pull almost doesn't seem possible for a mech frame.Oh yeah,it's a mech frame. Hmm, that's about all I got so far.

Jay.

P.S.

[fearc7]

[Gotenks]

If so.... cool bike man :o :D

[RRfireblade]

I do,I'd post a pic except I guess I don't have one on this PC.I'll take one in the morning if your interested.

Jay.

[RRfireblade]

For any interested,
The Medusa rocks.Their being annoed as we speak and should be availible real soon.(1Week?)Watch out intelli! I'll post a pic of the finished product as soon as I get a chance.I've been out of town for the last two weeks so I'm not quite caught up yet.

Jay.

[RRfireblade]

For Gotenks......

[EsPo]

we want pics!!:p

[rhetor22]

nice bike! but i'm still an R1 and R6 fan (i like the R6 better, i like the 600s)


i havn't heard of the new frame before, but maybe this will be a good time for me to get a used frame cheap.

[ChuckWag78]

No Way! GSXR 600 Baby!!!! My personal Fav.

But really nice bike man.

[FrAuStY]

GSX-R 750... it only weighs like 12 lbs heavier and it has about 20 more hp. :) Yumm Yumm..

[Wc Keep]

i like the 600r personally but thats my opinion

any word on this new frame?

[chrisj]

Aprilia Mille-R, I can fit my monkey legs onto it so nicely.

Chris

[angelKiller16]

thanks for all the info, but what about msrp?

[rhetor22]

hey you can't go and throw aprilias and ducatis in here, we're dealing honda and yamaha. To me they are in a whole different class. The GSXR 750 has been a force to reckon with for some time. I've heard the R6 is really the only bike that can take it on...:D

[rudy]

where does the trigger rod contact the trigger on this frame? about how far down

[chrisj]

Fine, we'll pull the aprilia. :)

TLR. Big twins are stupid easy to ride fast.

Chris

[Gotenks]

beautiful bike.

I can't wait till the day I'll have only 2 wheels and pavement under my feet.

Take care and ride safely

[RRfireblade]

I'll have some pics maybe tuesday.They first runs should be ready next week however the trigger blanks for the Mag aren't ready till the week after,lucky cocker fans.They will be offered as a semi beta test for likely $129.00.And for right now only in black anno.

Jay.

P.S.
As far as Jap versus Pizano bikes.If I put another $6000.00 into pretty much any Jap bike(CBR954 $10,000-Ducati998 $16,000+)Well I think enough said.Just for the record, Benelli Baby!

150hp,400lbs.

[rhetor22]

34lbs

you can't make a porsche from a civic and $50,000. It ain't gunna happen.

[CenterFire]

Sell the civic and use that money plus the 50k ... then find yourself a porsche, eh?

[FooTemps]

i thought this thread was on the new benchmark frames... how did we get to civics and porches? lol

[fearc7]

good question

[RRfireblade]

A civic and a Porsche are miles apart,a typical Jap bike in stock trim usually out performs most other imports all ready.(and at about 50% less MSRP.)
EX. RC51,YZFR1,GSXR1000,750 etc.

Jay.

And yes, this is supposed to be about frames.I guess the only connection is if I ride my bike down to Proteam,but I'll use any excuse to talk about bikes. LOL

[Coaster]

as long as you post the pics sometime of the medusa, i dont' care if you talk about bikes or cars..

[rhetor22]

i turn most threads into something about engines.

sorry. :D

[FooTemps]

lol... oh well, it's back on track... i wonder how many people we confused... *rhetorical question!*

[Coaster]

any updates?

[angelKiller16]

still interested, whenever you get the pics or price or whatever

[RRfireblade]

Sorry Guys,
I haven't had a chance to get down there yet.Kinda a hurricane tropical storm thing 'bout to land in my back yard today or tommorrow.(Daytona) I'll try and get there before the weekend and post an update.As far as I know the Mag version's not ready just yet.Maybey next week and I'm still hearing like $129.If the production model turns out anything like the proto I had,Oh Man!!

Jay.

[angelKiller16]
